Default Something Extra - knife edge all day long!

I was not having much success flying knife edge with my SE. Have max rudder throw, plenty of servo and stiff pushrods. Played with balance and still poor results. See the pictures for a simple modification I did that gave me a completely different plane. Easy knife edge now with no where near full rudder or power. Using a Saito 56, APC 12 x 6 and 15% fuel.
